2 Kings 19:21-28
21ThisH2088 is the wordH1697 that the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 againstH5921 him: ‘She has despisedH959 you and mockedH3932 you, 1The virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; She 2has shakenH5128 her headH7218 behindH310 you, The daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!22WhomH4310 have you 3reproachedH2778 and 4blasphemedH1442? And againstH5921 whomH4310 have you raisedH7311 your voiceH6963, And 5haughtilyH4791 liftedH5375 up your eyesH5869? AgainstH5921 the 6HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478!237ThroughH3027 your messengersH4397 you have reproachedH2778 the LordH136, And you have saidH559, “With my manyH7230 chariotsH7393 I cameH5927 up to the heightsH4791 of the mountainsH2022, To the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of LebanonH3844; And I 8cutH3772 downH3772 its tallH6967 cedarsH730 and its choiceH4004 cypressesH1265. And I 9enteredH935 its farthestH7093 lodgingH4411 placeH4411, its 10thickestH3759 forestH3293.24I dugH6979 wells and drankH8354 foreignH2114 watersH4325, And with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 I 1112driedH2717 up AllH3605 the riversH2975 of 13EgyptH4693.”
25‘14Have you not heardH8085? LongH7350 agoH7350 I didH6213 it; From ancientH6924 timesH3117H6924 I plannedH3335 it. 15NowH6258 I have broughtH935 it to passH935, That you should turnH1961H7582 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530.26Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were shortH7116 of strengthH3027, They were dismayedH2865 and putH954 to shameH954; They were 16as the vegetationH6212 of the fieldH7704 and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, As grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406 is scorchedH7711 beforeH6440 it is grownH7054 up.27But 17I knowH3045 your sittingH3427 downH3427, And your goingH3318 out and your comingH935 in, And your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me.28BecauseH3282 of your ragingH7264 againstH413 Me, And because your 18arroganceH7600 has comeH5927 up to My earsH241, Therefore I 19will putH7760 My hookH2397 in your noseH639, And My bridleH4964 in your lipsH8193, And 20I will turnH7725 you backH7725 by the wayH1870 whichH834 you cameH935.
